Starting a Year-Long Journey with 365 People

It began with one man who wanted to mark his 40th birthday in a meaningful way. Dan Waber wrote 40 words daily, each time about a different person who affected his life, and he wrote for a solid year. Today, thousands have joined him, talking through their own x365. And I begin tomorrow.

My daily 47 words — no more, and no less — will mark my own age. It’s my tribute to the people who move me, help me, hurt me, and heal me. Some inspire, and others remind me of the choices not to make. So many people. I never expected it to be so hard to compile all the names.

I’m nowhere near the 365 I’ll need, so I’m starting on faith and a list of 171. See you tomorrow.
